<P>I installed the raw version of the Rockbox on my Fuze v2. It works! Many functions are not activated as the developers are struggling with the write function, no radio yet.. But what I see is great. The textreader is excellent with sharp fonts even on Fuze small screen: now I can read my podcast /audiobook descriptions and annotations. Shame on you SanDisk for not implementing a text reader in the Fuze - the screen is perfectly readable contrary to what some people used to tell me.</P><P>Plenty of games and gadgets.&nbsp;</P><P>But it needs much more extra work and I wouldn't recommend it for users at its present stage.</P><P>On the whole it is a great effort.

<P>Just to be clear theres no reason you can't make a reverse bootloader safely. &nbsp;Its just harder since:</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>1) &nbsp;The dual boot choice is actually made before the bootloader in the mkamsboot program, which is written in ARM assembly&nbsp;</P><P>2) &nbsp;Theres no way to recover from flashing a broken binary with mkamsboot</P><P>3) &nbsp;Theres no easy way to test the binary before flashing it</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>So basically you have to be at least a little&nbsp;familiar&nbsp;with ARM assembly and be willing to break your player to write one. &nbsp;Thats not most people who use the Sandisk firmware <img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://sansa.i.lithium.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.gif" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /></P>Tue, 06 Apr 2010 15:00:44 GMThttps://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Sansa-Fuze/Rockbox-amp-V2-s/m-p/146941#M44136saratoga2010-04-06T15:00:44ZRe: Rockbox & V2'shttps://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Sansa-Fuze/Rockbox-amp-V2-s/m-p/146995#M44137

So, I got it working. Great software, sans the aforementioned glitches. I loaded up Rockboy though and no matter which ROM I load, the screen flickers to the point that the games are unplayable. Is this something inherit to the Fuze V2, or Rockboy itself, or is there some setting that I need to toggle?Tue, 13 Apr 2010 23:12:54 GMThttps://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Sansa-Fuze/Rockbox-amp-V2-s/m-p/147537#M44178Ninez2010-04-13T23:12:54ZRe: Rockbox & V2'shttps://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Sansa-Fuze/Rockbox-amp-V2-s/m-p/147568#M44179
The flickering is neither&nbsp;inherent&nbsp;to the Fuzev2 nor Rockboy. Rockbox on the Fuzev2 just has this screen flickering problem at the moment unfortunately. I hope it will be fixed soon. It seems to be worse the more the cpu is being used, for example if you scroll quickly while listening to music, or go on Rockboy. If you boost the cpu frequency in the debug menu, the screen starts flickering whether you are doing anything or not <img id="smileyvery-happy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyvery-happy" src="https://sansa.i.lithium.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-very-happy.gif" alt="Smiley Very Happy" title="Smiley Very Happy" />, so there is&nbsp;definitely&nbsp;a direct link between the cpu and the screen problem. So unfortunately anything that uses the cpu too much makes rockbox unusable atm (well aesthetically at least)...Wed, 14 Apr 2010 12:37:14 GMThttps://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Sansa-Fuze/Rockbox-amp-V2-s/m-p/147568#M44179Xanikseo2010-04-14T12:37:14ZRe: Rockbox & V2'shttps://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Sansa-Fuze/Rockbox-amp-V2-s/m-p/147641#M44180

Got myself another Fuze today and worked first time.

<P>Hi Rob</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Unfortunately I didnt check which firmware was originally installed on the player when I received the new unit but I used a patched version of 02.03.33 to install Rockbox on the new player.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>With the original player when I first got it I updated the original firmware to 02.03.33 with Sansa Firmware Updater and I could only revert back to 02.03.33 or re-install 02.03.33.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Unfortunately for me, I can't return the other unit as I bought it from ebay so I will be putting it back on there.</P>Fri, 28 May 2010 18:09:47 GMThttps://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Sansa-Fuze/Rockbox-amp-V2-s/m-p/150752#M44217djphatic2010-05-28T18:09:47ZRe: Rockbox & V2'shttps://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Sansa-Fuze/Rockbox-amp-V2-s/m-p/150754#M44218

It's job is to update, not backdate. You also cannot re-install the same version with it. For the times when a re-installation or an older version is required or desired, you must use the manual method for firmware installation.</P>Fri, 28 May 2010 18:19:56 GMThttps://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Sansa-Fuze/Rockbox-amp-V2-s/m-p/150754#M44218Tapeworm2010-05-28T18:19:56ZRe: Rockbox & V2'shttps://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Sansa-Fuze/Rockbox-amp-V2-s/m-p/150755#M44219

Same here for me, you can manually downgrade and upgrade between 03.31 and 03.33 but not manually downgrade to 02.26 so weird.Fri, 28 May 2010 21:00:14 GMThttps://forums.sandisk.com/t5/Sansa-Fuze/Rockbox-amp-V2-s/m-p/150765#M44220Schommelstoel2010-05-28T21:00:14Z
